Electronic Structure Under Extreme Uniaxial Strains: Conductance in Metallic Nanocontacts.
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
In this work we address the behaviour of electronic structure under uniaxial stress, by first-principles calculations and experiments of conductance in nanometer-sized metallic contactes of Au and Al. These contacts are shown to be specially suitable for this purpose. The conductance behaviour is related to the change with strain of Fermi surface. Both experimental and theoretically Au behaves like the free electron gas but Al has the opposite behaviour.
